Discovery of Polynomials
The Alexander polynomial is a knot invariant which assigns a polynomial with integer coefficients to each knot type. James Waddell Alexander II discovered this, the first knot polynomial, in 1923. In 1969, John Conway showed a version of this polynomial, now called the Alexander–Conway polynomial, could be computed using a skein relation, although its significance was not realized until the discovery of the Jones polynomial in 1984. Soon after Conway's reworking of the Alexander polynomial, it was realized that a similar skein relation was exhibited in Alexander's paper on his polynomial.

Introduction of PolynomialsPolynomials = Poly (means many) + nomials (means terms). Thus, a polynomial contains many termsThus, a type of algebraic expression with many terms having variables and coefficients is called polynomial.
Example –
Let us consider third example, in this ‘x’ is called variable.Power of ‘x’, i.e. 2 is called exponent.Multiple of ‘x’, i.e. 2 is called coefficient.The term ‘2’ is called constant.And all items are called terms.

Let us consider the second example –
In this there are two variables, i.e. x and y. Such polynomials with two variables are called Polynomials of two variablesPower of x is 2. This means exponent of x is 2.Power of y is 1. This means exponent of y is 1.The term ‘5’ is constant.There are three terms in this polynomial.

Types of Polynomial:
Monomial – Algebraic expression with only one term is called monomial.Example – Binomial – Algebraic expression with two terms is called binomial.Example – Trinomial – Algebraic expression with three terms is called trinomial.Example –
But algebraic expressions having more than two terms are collectively known as polynomials.

Variables and polynomial:Polynomial of zero variable
If a polynomial has no variable, it is called polynomial of zero variable. For example – 5. This polynomial has only one term, which
is constant.
Polynomial of one variable –Polynomial with only one variable is called Polynomial of one
variable.Example – In the given example polynomials have only one variable i.e. x, and hence it is a polynomial of one variable.

Polynomial of two variables –Polynomial with two variables is known as Polynomial of two variables.Example – In the given examples polynomials have two variables, i.e. x and y, and hence are called polynomial of two variables.
Polynomial of three variables –Polynomial with three variables is known as Polynomial of three variables.Example –

Degree of Polynomials:Highest exponent of a polynomial decides its degree.Polynomial of 1 degree:Example: 2x + 1In this since, variable x has power 1, i.e. x has coefficient equal to 1 and hence is called polynomial of one degree.
Polynomial of 2 degree –Example: In this expression, exponent of x in the first term is 2, and exponent of x in second term is 1, and thus, this is a polynomial of two(2) degree.To decide the degree of a polynomial having same variable, the highest exponent of variable is taken into consideration.Similarly, if variable of a polynomial has exponent equal to 3 or 4, that is called polynomial of 3 degree or polynomial of 4 degree respectively.

Important points about Polynomials:A polynomial can have many terms but not infinite terms.Exponent of a variable of a polynomial cannot be negative. This means, a variable with power - 2, -3, -4, etc. is not allowed. If power of a variable in an algebraic expression is negative, then that cannot be considered a polynomial.The exponent of a variable of a polynomial must be a whole number.Exponent of a variable of a polynomial cannot be fraction. This means, a variable with power 1/2, 3/2, etc. is not allowed. If power of a variable in an algebraic expression is in fraction, then that cannot be considered a polynomial.Polynomial with only constant term is called constant polynomial.The degree of a non-zero constant polynomial is zero.Degree of a zero polynomial is not defined.
